Development of effective Wireless Sensor Network system for water quality and

quantity monitoring
ABSTRACT:
The project aims to study and develop a suitable model for monitoring both the
quantity and quality of water in different water bodies and water flow in the
public distribution system. This project aims to identify source of water pollution,
to detect water leakage, to meter the water supply remotely with the help of a
wireless sensor network zone. It proposes a novel, scalable, intelligent and
incremental architecture which is adaptive to the environmental parameters,
quality perception that incorporates intelligence for monitoring the quantity and
quality of water and generate alerts in terms of mails/ messages/ alarms
following violation of safety norms as per WHO standard or according to the local
sensitivity. Many water supply boards in India do not have any online or real time
remote monitoring capabilities of water supply or computation capabilities.
Therefore, there is a real need for online decision support systems based on real
time continuous remote monitoring of hydraulic and water quality parameters
within the water system
The main objective of this project is to develop an indigenous, intelligent and
adaptive decision support system for on-line monitoring of the remote water
quality and quantity of flow across a wireless sensor zone and raising alerts in
terms of mails/sms/alarms following any violation of the safety norms of the
water quality and/or quantity by remote detection of leaks and pipe burst
events. A real-time pressure and flow measurements from the sensor network
shall be assimilated into hydraulic models. The expected outcome shall be a new
model for online, real-time water monitoring system that shall be used to
improve efficiency of the water supply distribution network. This proposed
research project refers to technologies in the move towards next generation
water quality and quantity monitoring to provide simple, efficient, cost effective
and socially acceptable means to detect and analyze water bodies and
distribution regularly and automatically. The deliverables mainly include the
prototype system, a dataset to be used as a benchmark, a new rule-base for the
quality adaptive to the user group, season, time and standard.
